Incorrect Blood Pressure

Chapter Chapter 12 in Taming HAL, 2003, pp 163-176 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract With fast highways and gloomy intersections behind us, we enter into the world of hospitals and operating rooms. The story here is about a medical device, a blood-pressure machine. These machines are very reliable and are used in wards and operating rooms. Nevertheless, the overall reliability of a system depends not just on whether the internal components work well. Reliability, as a design and evaluation criterion, should be extended to include correct interfaces and suitable user interaction.
